Are you turning 21 soon? If so, then congratulations! 21 is a big year! It’s the year that you become an adult in the eyes of the law, this is a major milestone in your life and there are plenty of reasons to celebrate. Also, the year that you can finally drink alcohol legally.

There are many other ways to celebrate your 21st birthday, and in this blog post, we will discuss some of them. Whether you’re planning a party, big bash or just going out with friends, or even want to know what to do when your friends turn 21, read on for some great ideas!

1. Throw a boozy brunch

Everyone enjoys a nice breakfast, especially one that includes booze. As an alternative to a nighttime celebration, invite your buddies over for a drunken breakfast. Add some homemade alternatives, like an omelet bar or an oatmeal bar, to round out your menu.

Join an online mixology class with your friends to learn how to make your own delicious brunch cocktails for some extra fun. Everyone can contribute and get the birthday person something valuable to put on their bar cart.

2. Go camping

If you have the time and money, camping is a great way to spend a night or maybe a whole weekend with your friends. During the day, go hiking, and at night, cook outside while enjoying a drink. You could always hire a camper van with an oven to bake a cake if you have the money. If not, bring a sheet cake that can be stored on a shelf for this adventurous 21st birthday party concept.

3. Go for a road trip

It might not be your idea of a fantastic birthday to spend the day in the car, but when you have somewhere worth going, it’s worth it. No matter where you reside, there are undoubtedly a number of places around that are worth a road trip, including national parks, beaches, old towns, and nearby cities.

4. Book a pamper day

On your special day, treat yourself by planning a trip to the spa. Although getting a pampering package including a facial, massage, and manicure is always a fantastic idea, feel free to pick and choose the services you prefer most. In either case, a spa day will leave you feeling your best.

5. Have a costume party

Who doesn’t enjoy a good reason to dress up? Choose a fun theme and embrace it fully. This is a fantastic way to unwind and enjoy yourself with your friends. You can all dress up as your preferred TV, film, or video game characters.

6. Participate in tarot reading

Let’s collect every crystal! You might be doing some form of meditation, giving each other unique gemstone gifts, sending great intentions to the birthday queen, having tarot readings, or doing a combination of all of these things.

7. Go to a theme park 

No matter your age, having fun at an amusement park is a guarantee. For a day packed with roller coasters, cotton candy, and positive energy, visit the closest theme park.

The real question here is, could you ride 21 times?

8. Have a pool party

For a pool party, gather all of your closest buddies! Enjoy lounging in the sun or swimming around in the pool while wearing floaties and sunscreen. Cool off with an ice cream bar with 21 different toppings.

9. Attend a concert

It’s always fun to celebrate turning 21 by yelling along to your favorite songs by your favorite performers at a concert! Find out who is performing in your city and purchase tickets in advance. Alternately, if you enjoy taking part in singing with your pals, book a private Karaoke room.
